Rolex does not engrave the case back. If it says 24 hours at Daytona, or wording like that, the watch is not real... It's a fake, or as we say more kindly.. It's a replica, and can be bought on any replica watch web site for $30 to $80, for an automatic mov't., 21J, made in China.
Also, the sub-dials will not function on this watch. A Daytona needs the proper movement to operate the chronograph as it was intended..... To act as a stopwatch.. and measure time... seconds, minutes and hours. This is done by activating pushers at 2 and 4 positions, and the pushers on 21J replicas just don't operate a chron. for the purpose of measuring time. They may move and measure something else, like military time, or the date, but definitely not record seconds, minutes or hours.
There are also no manuals on how to operate the Daytona that comes with these replica watches. You should know how this watch functions and how to operate the pushers, and what they do before you should buy and enjoy this type of chronograph watch. It's simple, just take the time to ask people in the know... how the daytona works, what the sub-dials measure and how to use them, etc. In no time you'll understand the operation of this beautifully made watch. Unfortunately, a daytona is out of reach for most of us... That's why seeking out a quality rolex replica for much less money is the way to go if you love this watch... A quality one can look, feel, and function just as good as the authentic Daytona, and you won't have to out out over $10K to get one.

The prize watches from the 24 hour Daytona race are very much real. They are extremely rare (between 6-10 are given away a year, to the winners of the race) and therefore extremely valuable; so it would be impossible to just "come across" one. Since many racecar drivers may only get the chance at one in a lifetime, they are rarely sold. Even private collectors have a hard time getting their hands on them. They are worth upwards of $50,000, but that is if they are real. They are extremely hard to get your hands on because since they are not sold, they must be WON at the race. I hope that helps. PS- no, Rolex doesn't inscribe watches they SELL and this watch is not sold by anyone... That's the key difference.
Look for a R mark on the back or on the links

I have a 1992 Rolex Daytona, how do I tell if its a knockoff?
i have (winner rolex24 AT daytona 1992) engraved on back case of watch. when many replicas tend to have AD daytona. does this mean it can still be a replica? the face is black and red with what looks like white gold numbers. the strap has all the stamp markings of swiss made and 18k white gold and cerial numbers.
I have a replica Pearl dial SS Rolex Daytona with back casing engraved WINNER ROLEX 24 with checker flag logo and a very hard to read tiny letterings 'AD DAYTONA 1992' written just below the words, ROLEX 24. The watch is about a decade old and is still function well except the second hand is 1 sec. faster in every 4 hrs compares to the original one. How accurate to the precision is your replica ones?
real or fake
i don't know if its original or fake
